Abstract
A study is undertaken to ascertain non-Newtonian effects in steady flows of elastic fluids due to an infinite rotating disk when there is suction across its surface. The fluids considered are of a class for which the similarity-type solution of von Kármán is an exact solution. It is shown that the presence of elasticity (of the type considered) does not result in flow reversal, the disk acting as a centrifugal fan as in Newtonian flow.
